Thank you to everyone who attended and donated to this year's "Celebrate Washington Wine” gala and auction at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, and
to those who bid in our online auction. Thanks to your generosity the auction
brought in more than $240,000 to benefit the Washington State University
Viticulture and Enology Program.
It is with your help that WSU is able to create a “perfect pairing”: A world-class viticulture and enology program in partnership with Washington’s world-class wine industry.
Mark your calendar for next year’s auction – set for January 22, 2011. And again, our warmest thanks for your support, which allows WSU to continue to partner with the Washington wine industry to benefit research, teaching and outreach. It is a priceless gift!
Cheers!
Thomas Henick-Kling
Director, WSU V&E Program
Exploring the Science of Wine
P.S. - This spring, Chateau Ste. Michelle will again be partnering with fine restaurants throughout Washington and Oregon to continue their "Raise a Glass - Fund a Scholarship" program to support wine research and education in the Northwest.
